About Athlete

Academics and sports are both very important to me and both play a huge part in shaping my character. I strive to always achieve the best on and off the field/track and I stay motivated by focusing on my long-term goal which is to compete at an NCAA Collegiate level. I have the motivation to work hard and represent my college team with pride and honor.

What makes you different?

I am very motivated and driven. Once I have set a goal I will do anything in my power to achieve it, without quitting.

I aspire to be the best I can possibly be in everything I participate in. By having high standards and dreams, I am constantly improving and learning from previous mistakes.

It is impossible for me to do something and not give it my best. Whether I am competing in a race or have to study for a test, I always go all out.

Why do you want to compete in college?

To compete in college sports while getting a world class education is what I have been working towards my entire high school career.

I want to test myself against the best athletes. College is a great opportunity to gain that exposure, take my sport to the next level, and enjoy a unique life experience while doing it.

College Goals?

My goal is to study towards becoming an Orthodontist – and win triathlon races for my team. I look forward to being part of a team, making friends for life, and adding value to my college community.

Anything else we should know?

I am a keen artist and I do art as an extracurricular activity. I love being creative and thinking of new ideas and methods through my art
